Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Bucks have held Curry to 5 points on 4 shots and made 15 3-pointers. And it’s resulted in a 17-point deficit. Wild. – 10:37 PM

Jonathan Kuminga has his second career double-double with 12 points to go with a career-high 11 rebounds. – 10:36 PM

Klay Thompson has a season-high 36 points and the Warriors lead, 112-95, with 7:50 remaining.
Don’t think we’re going to see Giannis Antetokounmpo again tonight, but maybe the Bucks give it one more push. – 10:35 PM
Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
DeAndre’ Bembry has a right knee injury and will not return to tonight’s game. – 10:35 PM

Klay is at 33 minutes with 7:50 to go. Think Kerr called the timeout to get him out. – 10:35 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 31 points in 30 minutes through three quarters, and he opened the fourth on the bench for the #Bucks
Khris Middleton has opened with a pair of threes, but Klay Thompson has helped keep the #Warriors up 20. – 10:32 PM

Steph has just five points on four FG attempts. Warriors up 19 to start the fourth. How?
Well, Jordan Poole has 30 points in just three quarters for the second time in his career.
And Klay has at least 25 points, five rebounds & five assists for the first time since March 2019 – 10:29 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Klay and Wiggins have combined for 12 of the Dubs’ 16 threes. The Bucks’ defense is bottling Steph. He has one three and 5 points and the Dubs are still up 19. – 10:28 PM

Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
Steph has 5 points and the Warriors are up 19 heading into the 4th. Love it. – 10:26 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bucks have gone super small here in the third quarter.
First, it was Antetokounmpo with Holiday, Carter, Allen and Matthews. Now, Middleton is the biggest Buck on the floor. – 10:25 PM
Brad Botkin @bradbotkincbs
Klay Thompson has the hardest strut in the league and whoever’s second ain’t close – 10:25 PM

Second time the Bucks have been disconnected from Klay Thompson in the third quarter and it’s the second time he’s made them pay. – 10:24 PM

Milwaukee’s DeAndre’ Bemrey hit the ground hard when closing out Jordan Poole. He’s still down and the training staff is now checking on him. Coach Bud also walked over. – 10:20 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
One of the Bucks is down courtside (Bembry?) after contesting that Poole 3. It’s bad enough that a fan and the Bucks players were calling for the athletic trainers – 10:20 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
DeAndre’ Bembry flies out at Jordan Poole on a corner 3 and he is down. Laying on his side.
He landed awkwardly on his right leg and a courtside fan immediately started waving for the Bucks training staff to come his way. – 10:19 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Warriors lead back down to a dozen at 93-81…Jordan Poole then draws a foul in the corner.
Fans are calling for #Bucks trainers to come over for DeAndre’ Bembry who is down along the sideline. – 10:19 PM
Carl Steward @stewardsfolly
Nice that Giannis is in the Eastern Conference. What a force. – 10:18 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Jevon Carter hitting a couple of corner 3s has been big for Milwaukee. They can get away with playing him and Bembry now, and they’re starting to cause GSW problems. 5 points in 4 mins for Warriors, leading to Mil transition – 10:18 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo has now reached 14,000 points in his career – just the second #Bucks player to do so. He trails Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by 211 points. – 10:07 PM

It’s been a long time since Bobby Portis had a 2-for-10 night, Khris Middleton a 3-for-11 night and Giannis Antetokounmpo a 5-for-10 night from the free throw line.
All together, makes sense why the #Bucks are down 82-65 with 7:10 to go in the third quarter. – 10:05 PM

#Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has passed #Nuggets HOFer Dan Issel for No. 95 on the all-time free throw attempts list. – 10:04 PM

Klay checked in to close the first half and automatically knocked down another three. He’s up to 21 points already.
